Hi guys I'm running into issues, I am trying to measure my 2way which is a round slot as a square slot. (Diamond shaped RFS Locator) It takes the points on the sides then faults out saying position out of machine stroke. Not sure what's happening can anyone suggest something different? I was considering using vector points but because the parts co-ordinate system is angled to the surface im not able to use a direct offset for the surface. Attached is a screen shot of slot settings.
I am measuring it immediately after my DCC tooling ball alignment!
You could measure 4 lines, one on each side. Then construct 4 points where the lines intersect. Then construct 2 lines from the points so you have a cross. Now create a point where the 2 lines intersect.

I've seen some pretty crappy diamond pins in my day, the 'corners' they take off are 100% clearance, and no way to know if they are all exact, and since they do nothing, not a good idea to base the alignment on.
